【单选题】　　Ceasing to Wear Ties 
1It's useless.It'sdirty.It spreads disease.That's why the British Medical Association in the UKrecently called for hospital doctors to stop wearing ties. 
2That leads toanother question.Why does anyone wear a tie?Ties serve no purpose.They do notcover any part of your body and keep you warm.They always seem to get coveredin food stains.Perhaps that is the purpose of the tie.It lets everyone knowwhat you just ate. 
3Ties have an oddhistory.Soldiers from Croatia,in Eastern Europe,served as mercenaries（雇佣军）in various conflictsin the 17th century.They were identified by brightly colored pieces of silkworn around the neck.Known as cravats（围巾）,these became a popular fashion item in Franceand evertually evolved into the tie. 
4It's an interestingstory,but it doesn't tell us why men want to put useless pieces of cloth orsilk around their necks.The answer seems to be about identification（身份证明）.In the 19th-centuryBritain,ties were used by universities,military regiments（团）,sports clubs,schoolsand gentleman's clubs.Each tie was in a particular set of colors whichidentified the wearer as a member of that organization.Wearing ties was alsothe mark of Britain's most powerful classes.That made the tie itself a symbolof power and respect.And that led it to be adopted by a much larger class-thebusiness class. 
5You cannot wear atie if you work with machinery.So wearing a tie became a sign that you were aman who used his brain to make a living,rather than his hands.It showed youwere serious.It showed you were a professional.It meant that everyone whowanted a job in business had to wear one.It was just impossible to takeseriously a man who did not wear a piece of colored silk around his neck.Thisis how millions of people came to wear ties across the world. 
6Is there a futurefor ties?The signs are not promising.Many political leaders,including BritishPrime Minister Tony Blair,now go without ties.
